Karol Dayana Vivas Olachica was born on 26 September 2006 in Villavicencio, Meta, Colombia, with a rare disease called Arthrogryposis Multiple Congenita. Due to this disease, she had to undergo several operations.
Thanks to her mother, she discovered a passion for painting with her mouth. She received painting lessons at a foundation. A few years later she met the VDMFK Scholarship Holder Fidel Serapio BLAS BALDERAS from Mexico City. He was in their town to talk about his disability. Since Ms Vivas Olachica and Mr Blas Balderas have the same disease, they quickly started a conversation, where he told her all about the Association of Mouth and Foot Painters.
